The fire broke out just before 6:30 am in the house on Stationsweg. It is a detached house with a thatched roof.
Due to the outbreak of fire, the fire brigade was called in large numbers. Five surrounding homes have been evacuated for safety reasons. These residents have been sheltered by their neighbors.
NL-Alert
Due to the smoke development, the risk of flying fire (sparks) and the spread by the strong wind, an NL Alert was issued. This warning was withdrawn around 8:30 am.
The residents were not home at the time of the fire. There were also no injuries.
During the morning, the safety region announced that the fire was under control. The fire brigade will then continue to extinguish the fire for some time.
Interference
Due to the fire, some of the homes on Spoorstraat temporarily have no power. According to Liander, this will last approximately until 11:30 am.
Furthermore, the thatch in the roof of the burned down house is spread across the backyards of Themislaan. The safety region has announced that people can clean up the fire remains themselves.
